Five ways to use lip balm

As far as we know, lip balm is just that little chapstick in our handbags we use whenever we have dry or cracked lips. However, this little guy could be your best friend when you're in need! 

Here are five ways you can use lip balm to fire up your beauty routine: 

1. Dry nails?

Try rubbing over some lip balm over your cuticles to revive them. Cuticles help to keep bacteria away from your nails such as fungal infections so it's worth protecting them and keeping them in tip top shape! 

2. Cream eyeshadow

If you want your eyeshadow to last all day without re-applying it why not just mix it with your lip balm? This saves you money on expensive primers so you get a real bang for your buck. Just make sure you don't irritate your eyes with flavours like mint or citrus.

3. Blowing your nose too much?

We all get that dry spot under our noses when we have a cold and blow our noses like there's no tomorrow. Rub that miracle juice on and try not to rub the area to avoid it getting worse. Again do not use mint or citrus flavours as it may irritate the skin.  

4. Blusher

Got tinted lip balm? Add a dash to your cheeks or mix some with a red or pink shade of lipstick. The same goes for lipgloss if you have any on hand. 

5. Dry skin 

In cold weather the most common place dry skin occurs is on the knuckles of the hands and sometimes our fingers. Luckily lip balm will do the trick if you don't have any hand cream.
